EXO, BTS, TWICE and BLACKPINK win big in the Melon Music Awards 2016; check out complete winner's list here

It's awards season again for the world of k-pop and last November 19, k-pop idols and fans all over the world celebrated the 2016 Melon Music Awards. Several stars attended the prestigious musical event, some stood out while there are also other who stood out even more.

The 2016 Melon Music Awards were filled with revelry and fun. The stage was set in a beautiful winter motif and the lights were a spectacle to watch. But what really had the countless of adoring fans cheering were the idols themselves that looked divine in each of their respective attires. Truly it was a night to remember for everyone.

For those who are new to k-pop, the Melon Music Awards is one of the biggest award giving bodies in Korea along with Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), Seoul Music Awards and Golden Disk Awards. Winners are chosen by popular vote and how they fared in the charts. The Melon Music Awards has been running for about 8 years now and every year, things just kept getting better and better.

According to Allkpop, the night was filled with many explosive performances from Seventeen, Red Velvet, MAMAMOO, I.O.I, iKON, Gummy and more. BLACKPINK took the Melon stage for the first time as they performed their hit singles "Whistle" and "Playing with Fire." They began with a wintery theme as they performed Whistle. However, their attires quickly changed when Playing with Fire came up and it was definitely a great MMA debut for the girls.

Fire also seemed to be the theme for BTS as they performed "Blood, Sweat and Tears " and "Fire." The boy group from Big Hit Entertainment made hearts leap as they performed Blood, Sweat and Tears but things went tribal when their song Fire came. The boys literally made the stage explode, which surprised an unknowing Chanyeol (EXO).

TWICE brought back "Train to Busan" feels during their performance of their hit song "Cheer Up" and "TT."

EXO, on the other hand, made nostalgia as their theme when they made an ode to their previous hit songs "Growl", "Call Me Baby", "Overdose" and "Beats" before performing "Monster."

EXO, BTS, TWICE and BLACKPINK were the big winners of the night when they each took home one of the daesang, or the so-called major awards of the night. EXO also made history as the first group to ever win all three daesang awards in the history of Melon Music Awards after bagging Artist of the Year this 2016.
